Scholastic videos are award-winning presentations of classic children's books that preserve the original texts and artwork while enhancing the viewing experience with fun music, read-along text, and celebrity narration. This collection of 20 favorite stories celebrates nature and its creatures with tales about everything from bears, insects, and mice to man's connection with nature. Bear Snores On and Bear Wants More are captivating tales about a bear whose friends alternately hold a party in his lair while he's hibernating and then help fill his stomach when he wakes up insatiably hungry. Henry Hikes to Fitchburg contrasts a bear's enjoyment of a countryside hike with his friend's very different day of work and train travel, and Panama explores a bear and tiger's discovery that their simple cottage by the river is the place of their dreams. While insects, arachnids, and amphibians are often considered creepy, crawly, or slimy, they're cute creatures with normal dreams in five separate stories that chronicle a school-going spider, a termite with dreams of becoming an architect, a mouse sculptor, an unusual tadpole, and a frog with a special talent for dancing. The He's Got the Whole World in His Hand disc celebrates the connection between man and nature with everything from a Native American message of thanks to a celebration of rain after a drought, a special father-daughter owl-spotting trip, a kind kitchen maid's efforts to save a pair of Mandarin ducks, and a comical live-action look at a young boy's attempts to catch an elusive frog. The final disc presents two live-action films: The Mouse and the Motorcycle, a story about a friendship between a young boy and an (animatronic) mouse with a fascination for motorcycles, and Wee Gillis, the tale of a young Scottish boy who must make a difficult choice between traditional highland and lowland living. New and old favorites abound in this thoroughly enjoyable Scholastic compilation. (Ages 2 to 8) --Tami Horiuchi

Awesome books on DVD for my kids. What a better way to have them appreciate the old school scholastic books.

The animation on these is silly...I can't watch them and they do not seem to keep my son entertained either.
 Great value & good quality stories on DVD. June 1, 2009

See your children's favorite storybook characters lovingly animated in this series of short films. My girls loved "Where the Wild Things Are", "Blueberries for Sal" and so many other classics. My only reason for giving it four stars is some of the selections are not as good as others or seem peculiarly dated. But the good outweighs the bad and I would highly recommend this to any family of preschool age children.

These are great short videos to play after reading the book to my class (3rd graders) or to my son (age 3). It makes the books come alive!
